Lucky man. Thatīs a very nice Frido. The previous owner didnīt want to swap it for an original camper. He wants money (shame on me...) :(

Enjoy it... :D

Hi there Steve,

How is it going with the frid? looking really good, i think anything you do will make it better, but with having the aero dynamics of a brick, a big motor will help!

Progress on ours is getting well underway, we have replaced rear quarters, well arches, passenger floor inside, wheel tubs, inner front wing, top of the wing, headlight bowls, bottom of the door and replacing the whole front valance this week! not for the faint hearted! it will unfortunatley still only have the 1200 to push it around, so any bits you think i could do with let me know if you go to get rid of them!

All the best

Jamie
